ABSTRACT: The growing usase of difficult - to - parse algorithmic systems in the production of news, from algorithmic curation to automated writing and news bots, probematizes the normative turn toward transparency as a key tenet of journalism ethics. Pagmatic guidelines that facilitate algorithmic transparency are needed. This research presents a focus group study that engaged 50 participants across the news media and academia to discuss case studies of algorithms innew production and elucidate factors that are amenable to disclosure. Results indicate numerrous oppurtunities to disclose information about an algorithmic system across layers such as the data, model, enference , and interface. Findings underscore the deeply entwined rolesof human actors in such systems as well as challenges to adoption of algorithmic transparency including the dearth of incentives for organizations and the concern for overwhelming end-users with a surfeit of transparency information. 56
